Too funny, it had crossed my mind before, quickly dismissed knowing how much more leverage is created by the closer arm versus the door. I could see it working short-term, during construction, until the correct arm was sourced.

Not only that, the forces exerted at that close pivot point
are far more than further up the arm. It’s a short life for
that cushioned stop with any amount of force applied to the
door. It’s a geometry thing.
